Magnum roller cam question

[zhandfull]

I have a 360/390 magnum motor I bought used it was never ran but it had some water damage so I had to take it apart and clean up some rusty parts and reassemble.

It has the 288/292 duration .501/.513 lift hydraulic roller cam 108 centerline. It's been awhile since I put it back together but I think I degreed the cam straight up at 108. Should I have advanced or retarded the cam timing?

Why? If you know that much, then you know the effect it has. What do you want?

Good question,Z . Wish I knew ,who ground it.

Run it. It might be better at 104 if it's a 9:1 engine. If together, just go with it as is.

He wants the power band,the way it was. Nice cam.

If it's already buttoned up, i'd let it eat for now.

Lol.. I didn't check it before disassembly so now I was just wondering if the factory builder of these engines installed them straight up, advanced, retarded, or if they just lined up the dots.

Still,the question.... (lol). Ordered a close spec roller,gonna go +2 intake lobe advance.
